For years, price transparency has been framed as a compliance obligation. But, as regulatory requirements have matured and consumer expectations have shifted, leading health systems are beginning to use transparent pricing data in fundamentally different ways, moving from disclosure to actually guaranteeing patients a price before they receive care. In this session, you will walk through how the price transparency landscape has evolved, what the data now makes possible, and what it means in practice for the stakeholders it affects most. Attendees will explore how health systems and payers are using structured pricing data to reduce billing surprises, build patient trust, and operationalize upfront cost estimates that hold.
